What happens if that person falls into immorality, leaves for another work, or dies?<br /><br />I guess many Churches have tried to augment this by adding home groups to the mix. I know some people who are part of the Village Church in the Dallas area as part of a satellite plant, and it seems to be helping them grow spiritually. The speaker, Matt Chandler, is terrific with the Scriptures. So in an actual model of Church I'm not sure it's terribly unhealthy.<br /><br />However, I agree with you that it's not easily reproducible. Also, the teaching of a congregation comes almost solely from one person. That means that your Christian walk will likely look like his own, whatever version it may be.<br /><br />Thanks for the thoughts.Joshua Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885411328858790275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167250939484647451.post-17557875769781647592009-09-29T17:25:24.866-07:002009-09-29T17:25:24.866-07:00Neil, I would have to agree.

The seeds for this new start began as a satellite ministry of a larger congregation whom we still have a healthy and strong relationship with. However, the satellite, couldn't achieve any missional momentum. Rather than a child, the satellite was an appendage with no purpose of its own. <br /><br />A core group of us made the decision with the blessing of the larger church, to cut loose and plant in a new location. In the short 5 months since we launched, there is a significant understanding of and commitment to mission with a vision to launch several new church plants out of community in the years to come.<br /><br />Tom Schaeffer<br />www.CrossTheThreshold.com<br />http://1035online.blogspot.comTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00701898530462650070noreply@blogger.com
